Clip-On Thermal Experience

[Reddish]

Anyone used a clip-on thermal vs a thermal scope? Just wondering how well it works for predators. I think it would be nice to be able to switch it to different scopes and rifles easily.

I would recommend a dedicated scope. With a good RTZ mount like ADM or Larue and multiple zero profiles (available in most thermals currently) you can still swap from gun to gun. I don’t have experience with any newer clip ons as of late but I know of people having poi shift problems in the past.

I've used one. Obviously there are positives and negatives.

It works fine for coyote hunting. A dedicated weapon sight is easier to use than a clip on though. Depending on what you are doing, the type of weapon, (AR/bolt in regular stock/bolt in chassis) scopes on each weapon, distance, one is a better option than another.
